Blogging for dollars

I read an article the other day that announced that 2 million bloggers are getting paid to blog. Well, stop the presses . . . er, hit the refresh button, because today it is 2 million and one! I am officially a "multimedia" blogger at the Register-Guard. Follow the link and come back often, I need the page view numbers to keep my job ;-)

Zags point guard injuried during practice

Delaney broke her little finger at the knuckle during basketball practice this week. We went to the orthopedic doctor today and they suggested having it cast. Delaney was bummed out, but rallied a little after she got to pick a blue wrapper color. She will have to have the cast on for at least two weeks, but she went to basketball practice this afternoon anyway. What a trooper!

I shot a picture of her and her new cast with my cell phone camera.

Tiernan won a pair of wild shoes in the Coraline Nike Dunk giveaway. How cool is that?

On the Wild Side

Trip to Wildlife Safari from Chris Pietsch on Vimeo.

Found some time to edit video from our family visit to Wildlife Safari last month. We drove down to the park south of Roseburg, Oregon during Grandpa Gary's visit. Scroll down the list of older blog entries to see a panorama from inside of the van during that same visit.

Tiernan helps move into new school

I updated the photo gallery with a few images from the last day in the old Creswell Middle School, so I decided to move the entry up to the top. Tiernan and her fellow Middle School classmates got to see the inside of their new school building for the first time just before spring break. The teachers recruited several classes to help move books and other stuff over. On the last day teachers and students held a dance and other fun activities. Classes will begin in the new school after spring break.

X-ray vision

Delaney had an appointment with the orthodontist today. Contributions toward her treatment will be readily accepted. ;-)

While she was there they did a panorama X-ray of her teeth and jaw. The clinic was happy to let us have a copy and, of course, I just HAD to run it through my panorama software. Click on the image above or this link to take a 360 degree tour of the inside of Delaney's head!

Delaney and a few of her classmates participated in a theater camp at school this past week. On Friday they performed their version of the classic "Little Red Riding Hood" for parents and teachers.
